Project Description
Before European settlement, grasslands, savannas, and related open canopy plant communities (prairies, barrens, and woodlands) stretched across 162 million ha of the US and more than 60 million bison roamed these lands. Today, grasslands represent one of the most threatened ecosystems with an estimated 82-99% loss, and bison numbers are only a fraction of historical estimates. The loss of these systems has further implications for other species, particularly bees and other pollinators. These losses have drastically reduced ecosystem integrity, biodiversity, and the cultural and health benefits these lands once provided to Tribes, Tribal Nations, Indigenous communities (hereafter, Tribes), and other communities. Restoring these critically important natural communities is key to sustaining and maintaining cultural plants (i.e., subsistence and medicinal species) and pollinator populations.

This project’s goal is to co-produce knowledge with Tribal, community, and other partners that will help restore these systems to Midwestern US landscapes. The project will help reestablish and maintain relationships between Tribes and medicinal plants, bees, and the entire ecosystem through knowledge-building and future restoration efforts that promote self-sustaining harvests. The project will also improve understanding of how acres treated for restoration objectives affects the long-term sustainability, ecological integrity, and resilience of these landscapes, both increasing biodiversity and cultural resources.


ORISE Fellow 1: Landscape assessment of restoration projects


Position Description: The ORISE Fellow will conduct a GIS landscape assessment to identify existing non-forest restoration efforts on Federal and Non-Federal lands. The Fellow will also work with project partners and support personnel to conduct a regional literature review of upland non-forested and open canopy restoration efforts, and assemble relevant datasets with respect to vegetation surveys, pollinator surveys, treatment effects, and monitoring efforts. The combination of literature review and acquisition of unpublished datasets will support a meta-analysis that includes questions related to culturally relevant plants and pollinator communities. From the assessment and analyses, the Fellow will develop restoration scenarios that prioritize lands to restore while estimating potential culturally significant plant and pollinator habitat resources. With these datasets, the Fellow will contribute to translating results into a prioritization decision-support tool for non-forest lands. The Fellow will also participate in workshops, collaborate on manuscripts, and deliver presentations at local and national conferences.


Qualifications: Applicants must have a PhD degree in forestry, ecology, biology, geography or a related field at the time of starting the position. Prior experience related to GIS is required as is experience related to grassland ecology, natural resource management, and/or ecosystem ecology. Successful candidates will demonstrate an aptitude for research, strong analytical, oral and written scientific communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently
and as a team. Preference will be given to applicants with a publication record, strong statistical analyses skills, and experience working with Tribal communities. 


ORISE Fellow 2: Integrating Indigenous knowledge in restoration projects


Position Description: The ORISE Fellow will assist with relationship-building and co-development of workshops with Tribes to identify restoration and research needs from Tribes and other landowners, how Indigenous knowledge has guided past restoration efforts and can guide future efforts and identify potential barriers for implementing future restoration projects. The Fellow will compile lists of restoration plants, and their pollinator, edible, medicinal and cultural value. With these plant lists, the Fellow will create a database of culturally significant plants and pollinator plants for non-forest restoration and evaluate whether and how restoration
efforts on non-forest lands have benefited culturally important plants and supported pollinators. The Fellow will have the opportunity to participate in workshops, collaborate on manuscripts and deliver presentations at local and national conferences.


Qualifications: Applicants must have a PhD degree in forestry, ecology, biology, geography or a related field at the time of starting the position. Prior experience related to grassland ecology, natural resource management, and/or plant-pollinator ecology is preferred. Successful candidates will demonstrate an aptitude for research, analytical and oral and written scientific communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently and as a team. Preference will be given to applicants with experience working with Tribes and/or indigenous communities, Traditional Ecological Knowledge / Indigenous knowledge, Native American ethnobotany, qualitative data analysis and database management skills.
